On #10963, it was noted that the use of "subcategory" for the hierarchy
relation between categories is abusive (implicit use of forgetfull
functors) and can be confusing. The purpose of this ticket is to discuss a
possible improvement to the terminology. While we are at it, we may want
to improve the suboptimal "join" and "meet" terminology.
